History

On June 29, 2013, Mikayla’s Voice hosted our inaugural Tri for Inclusion. We were inspired by the Sports Illustrated 2012 SportsKids of the Year, Conner and Cayden Long, two young brothers who compete together in triathlons despite one having a disability. While they usually compete in youth races where they are one of just a few ~ if not the only ~ inclusive team, the brothers joined us from Tennessee to serve as our race ambassadors in this first-ever inclusive triathlon developed to encourage and welcome youth of all abilities to “tri” together.
